The Potato Eaters
Vincent dipped figurative fingers in
Earthen bowls,
Sodden—
Years of sweat.
Potatoes stuff sunken cheeks,
Eyes bulge.
Sipping black tea.
Pale bulb canopy—
The Netherlands
Dark and dark!
Painters pick single wrinkles,
Nudge his star.
Vincent’s ears are still stuck,
In bowls of
The Potato Eaters!
